I heard about this today on the CF-Talk list. There is a survey about what ColdFusion developers would like to see in a IDE if one were to be developed by Adobe. Here is your chance to let Adobe know what you want in an IDE for ColdFusion.
I personally use CFEclipse and enjoy using that more than DreamWeaver or Homesite.
I upgraded to the new version of CFEclipse this morning to 1.3.1.1. The changes that have been made since 1.3 have been changes to the File Explorer. I am not using the regular version of Eclipse, I am using Flex Builder 3.0.1. I think this is probably why I might be having problems with the File Explorer in CFEclipse.
When I upgraded to CFEclipse 1.3.1.1, the File Explorer will not come up in either the Flex perspective or the CFEclipse perspective.
Adobe has put a beta of the Flex Builder 2 IDE on their labs website. I have been waiting for this for a long time.
Ben Forta posted on his blog about how the Macromedia is supporting the CFEclipse project. Damon Cooper is leading an effort to support RDS in the Eclipse IDE.
If you have not tried Eclipse yet, I highly recommend downloading it from eclipse.org. It is a open source and free IDE with a plugin system that allows anyone to add additional funtionality to it.
It looks like Macromedia is trying to point designers back at Dreamweaver, and point coders to Eclipse.
